They play their home games at [Suwon Stadium](/source/Suwon_Sports_Complex). ==History== ===Early years: semi-professional=== [Suwon](/source/Suwon) city government decided to create a semi-professional level football club that would link school-level football clubs within the city and [Suwon Samsung Bluewings](/source/Suwon_Samsung_Bluewings), which is a professional club based in the city. On 15 March 2003, Suwon City Football Club was officially formed. The club appointed [Kim Chang-kyum](/source/Kim_Chang-kyum) as their manager and joined the semi-professional [Korea National League](/source/Korea_National_League), which was then called the K2 League. They won their first trophy in 2004 by winning the [Korean President's Cup National Football Tournament](/source/Korean_President's_Cup_National_Football_Tournament). Slowly, they rose to strong contenders in the Korea National League as they reached the play-off on four occasions between 2005 and 2009, although they failed to lift the trophy on all four occasions. Finally, in the [2010](/source/2010_Korea_National_League) season, they became the league champions after beating [Daejeon Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power](/source/Gyeongju_Korea_Hydro_%26_Nuclear_Power_FC) 2–1 on aggregate in the final. Manager Kim Chang-kyum left the team after the 2011 season as his contract expired and [Cho Deok-je](/source/Cho_Deok-je), who had been managing the club's youth team, took over his place. ===Suwon FC era=== On 9 December 2012, it was officially announced that the team would become fully professional. The club's name was also changed to Suwon FC and got an approval to join the professional [K League](/source/K_League). Suwon FC joined the second-tier [K League Challenge](/source/K_League_Challenge) in the [2013 season](/source/2013_K_League_Challenge). Their debut season as a professional club was successful, as they finished fourth in the league and became the only K League Challenge club to reach the quarter-finals in the [FA Cup](/source/Korean_FA_Cup). The [2015](/source/2015_K_League_Challenge) season was a milestone for the club. After finishing the regular season in third place, Suwon FC proceeded to the K League Challenge play-offs in which they eliminated [Seoul E-Land](/source/Seoul_E-Land_FC) and [Daegu FC](/source/Daegu_FC).{{cite web |title=Summary – 2015 K League 2 – Soccerway |url=https://int.soccerway.com/national/korea-republic/k-league/2015/s11176/final-stages/ |website=soccerway.com
